Emmy snubs: who SHOULD have been nominated

Now that the Emmy nominations were announced this morning — by pajama-clad Jimmy Kimmel, subbing for AWOL Nick Offerman when the Parks and Recreation star couldn’t get out of the East Coast in time — I can announce my nominations in the anti-awards show I like to call the Snubbys, a.k.a. “Who Didn’t Get Nominated But Totally Should Have.” This year’s nominees are:

Louie — doesn’t it seem a little weird that Louis C.K. got a whopping seven nominations but his eponymous comedy series didn’t make it into the Outstanding Comedy Series category? What’s up with that?

Shameless, which featured fantastic performances by Emmy Rossum and William H. Macy, received only one nod, a well-deserved Best Actress nom for Joan Cusack.

Community — OK, so it got one measly nomination, for Best Comedy Writing, but the show deserves a lot more than that after such a brilliantly twisted season.

Mandy Patinkin in Homeland — sure, Claire Danes and Damian Lewis both got nominations, but Patinkin absolutely owned his role, and should have easily won a Best Supporting Actor nod.

Nick Offerman — how Parks and Recreations’s secret weapon got shut out is beyond me, while pretty much every single cast-member of Modern Family got a nod. I may have to drown my sorrows with a big plate of bacon-wrapped shrimp, which, as we all know, is Ron Swanson’s No.1 favourite food wrapped around his No. 3 favourite food.

Sons of Anarchy — seriously, zero nominations for one of the most awesome shows on television? Sure, Downton Abbey is fine, but when are Emmy voters going to show a little love to one of my all-time favourite shows, which just keeps getting better with each season?

Justified — star Timothy Olyphant was snubbed in the Best Actor in a Drama category, while the show was left out of the Best Drama Series category, two big snubs for another of my all-time favourite shows. I mean, do the Emmy voters even watch television?

RE: TV Guide's List Of The 60 Greatest Game Shows Of All-TimeWhoever the cronies at TV Guide are that compiled this list obviously got it right on the money.Jeopardy is the best game show of all time, beating out the likes of Wheel Of Fortune and Match Game.

Elisabeth should have quit LONG ago! The way Joy mistreated her and Whoopie ROLLED her eyes at Elisabeth when she spoke. Nothing but disrespect and judgemental ways toward Elisabeth. No one would miss Whoopie...just stuff a pillow and put black pants and a white shirt (same outfit that she wears everyday) and a wig and no one would know Whoopie was gone.
